Six-session educational and support groups were held for two sets of parents (32 in all) who had an adolescent schizophrenic child. Results indicate no significant increases in knowledge about the disorder following the group (probably due to the relatively high scores obtained at the outset) but gains seem to have been made in ability to handle the teenage patient at home. All parents commented on how they had benefited from the supportive aspect of the group. Future developments of these groups are discussed.
为两组各有一名青少年精神分裂症患儿的家长（共32名）举办了为期六次的教育与支持小组活动。结果显示，小组活动后家长对该疾病的了解并无显著增加（可能是由于一开始得分就相对较高），但在家中照料青少年患者的能力似乎有所提高。所有家长都谈到了他们从小组的支持环节中所获得的益处。文中还讨论了这些小组未来的发展方向。
